Lots of places in the US have snipers due to the possibility of terrorist threats, mass shooters, and attackers (eg. Major events like the super bowl), the thing about these snipers is that they’re there to make sure the protestors don’t get too out of hand.
It’s the difference between shooting an intruder trying to bang down your door, and shooting your own kid for being too noisy.

We have absolutely no idea if that’s the case or not. Considering that snipers are often used when a lot of people are together to protect against terrorism and idiots with guns, it’s safe to assume the same here as well. Unless there is some evidence to the contrary of course.
I don’t think shooting into a crowd has ever worked to calm a situation. I seem to remember it not working to well in Boston when the British still ran the place.
